U.S. Warns Israel: Improve Humanitarian Aid to Gaza or Face Military Aid Cuts
The United States has issued a stern warning to Israel regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, demanding an immediate improvement in aid efforts or facing potential cuts to military assistance. U.S. officials, including President Biden and Vice President Harris, have emphasized the urgency of the situation, giving Israel a 30-day ultimatum to increase humanitarian aid. Reports indicate that the aid entering Gaza has significantly declined, exacerbating the humanitarian disaster, particularly in northern Gaza where at least 400,000 people are at risk due to lack of food supplies. The U.S. has suggested that military aid could be withheld if these conditions do not improve, reflecting growing concerns over the dire situation on the ground.
